The airbnb folks were nice and gave us good recommendations to eat. The only person to actually sit and have a conversation was the parisian man.
He was overly friendly and we talked for a long time, at 2am when the restaurant closed late in the night he invited us to go out with a friend of his. To "party". We declined saying We are old and needed to get back...this surprised him.
His friend seemed indifferent to us.
Later, This made me suspicious and I am glad that we did not go.
Most of the people were tourists that we encountered.
The wait staff wre all nice to us. Including paris.
OH I forgot
In rome we met this bar tender (Luigi is his name) where we would go every night at his bar called antigallery. He was very nice and bought us shots. All of the bartenders drink so he was pretty in the loop the second night we were there.
Tipping is weird there... some times 15% was added to the bill other times it was included but we were unsure how to tip. so were did not as that is what we had read before hand.
I think there are so many foreigners who knows what is now expected. We were helping there economy, we spent enough there.
